In 2020, the Utah Women & Leadership Project published a study that investigated 100 companies who have been on various lists of Utah’s “Best Places to Work.” Since then, the UWLP has been highlighting these types of efforts in various ways. This episode is the second in a series of episodes focusing on practices, policies, programs, and initiatives that are linked to recruiting, retaining, and advancing women in their organizations. More broadly, many of these are referred to as “flexible and family-friendly” policies. In this new set of episodes, we highlight one company per episode, and continue the series with Overstock.com. Overstock is an internet retailer headquartered in Utah. Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the Utah Women & Leadership Project, is joined by Overstock's President, Dave Nielsen, and Sandra Bushby, Overstock’s Diversity & Inclusion Strategist.
